#mori why

[sableeira]

And Dazai is like: omg how did he figure it out?!?!?!?

#another entry in my series of stealing quotes from my favorite pieces of media #psa: Gansey is my fave raven boy but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to redraw it so Mori kinda got the Gansey line u_u #also let your imagination run wild what happened during the mission and why they are getting scolded #bungou stray dogs #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bsd fanart #soukoku #osamu dazai #bsd dazai #chuuya nakahara #bsd chuuya #bsd mori #mori ougai #my art #also still drawing panels for the au I was talking about a while back #someone pls take rimlights away from me this whole lighting set up doesn’t even make sense but I just need rimlights always

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

There is a cyclic tragedy inherent to Mori's character wherein he's actually a deeply lonely man, but it's mostly because his resolve to do morally reprehensible things and think of people as pieces on the game board is something he prioritizes over his relations with those very same people, and this inevitably pushes them away (for very understandable reasons). And it kind of sucks honestly because the most frustrating thing about Mori is that he 100% has the potential to be a fantastic teacher and mentor, and more than that, I think he loves it! Just look at Beast! But for as long as he decides he needs to be the one to make "the hard calls" to "preserve peace", then Mori will inevitably continue in this cycle of alienating all the people he has a fondness for.

I do feel as though Mori's loneliness is something he views as a necessary sacrifice that he is making for the greater good (and if he is so willing to sacrifice, then Dazai's unwillingness to do the same comes out of left field because - "what do you mean? you're supposed to be just like me!").

Anyways.

Mori voice: "I'm so alone"

Also Mori: *continues to prioritize pure logic over the emotions of his people and himself*

The people: *get rightly angry and/or become extremely traumatized and leave him*

Mori voice: "I did what needed to be done"

Mori: "..."

Mori: "..."

Mori: "I'm so alone"

Sir. You are doing this to yourself.

#thing is he works well as a mafia boss because those people who take orders know in advance they are going to be commanded #to do whatever is necessary #mori has cultivated strong bonds of loyalty so people like hirotsu and tachihara have no issue with doing what is demanded of them #since that is just what you do in the mafia. #but for people mori is closer with. his actions frequently feel like betrayal to them. because that may be how you treat a soldier #but it's not how you treat a child a mentee or a friend. #the thing i want to know is why he thinks being ruthless in the service of yokohama's peace is his own personal responsibility #in the first place #bsd #bsd mori #bsd meta #<- sort of. i'm mostly just rambling #storyrambles

skk official art of that day !! Can they behave for like five seconds

#I'm imagining mori behind the camera like sit down boys time to take a duo pic for our yearly album #and this is the best he gets #idk guys if they told me to sit w my rival i would sit on the other end of the sofa 🙄 #the sofa is big enough to fit 4 ppl why r they fighting like 😭 #soukoku

and what are you going to do if the ADA-PM transfer never happens? What if Mori decides to trade that transfer for a different favour from the ADA? What if they argue they already paid the PM back with everything else? What if things go so badly there isn't even an ADA or a PM to trade with? What then?

The transfer threat already served a narrative purpose, it was there to have Yosano believe Mori wanted to drag her back in with him, it was there to cause her distress and have her reveal her backstory to everyone else and tie in with Tachihara's reveal as a Hunting Dog. It already created a situation that had an impact on the characters in the long term.

Depending on what direction the story is meant to go in from now, there may or may not be an opportunity for that transfer to even go through. It would require a lot of focus narratively, steal the show even, so unless someone volunteers in order to fix whatever new problem they will encounter from here, I don't think the transfer will go down the way it was expected to.

#i also need mori to have a long-term plan over that transfer. why? in what objective? how will it contribute? #honestly i'm not holding my breath for a transfer to happen at all #the ONLY thing stressing me out is yosano's absence from the anime finale #but #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #apparently i talk sometimes

See here. BSD is a story about how all of our characters were once children. How the scars and wounds and secrets of their past will always haunt them to the present. We see it with Chuuya, Yosano, Ranpo, even Odasaku briefly, Atsushi, Tachihara, Akutagawa, Kyouka and Kenji right now, even Kouyou just a little bit. They've all overcome it or they've allowed it to consume them. And yet that brief glimpse into a past where they were young and scarred shows us once again just how human they are...every criminal, ever person, was once a child wounded by or protected from the world and doesn't that count for something even if it doesn't excuse the atrocities they commit today?

#its about the way backstories are burdens in this manga #im always a sucker for a good backstory but i love it even more when you can clearly see that... #...shedding the ghosts of your past is harder than it looks #and its more just a motivator but its also something that restricts and binds you #and this is why yosano's arc and also ranpo's arc are just so.... #like one was horribly hurt by the world and the other somehow managed to be lucky and find a protector #and you can SEE how theyve both grown or overcome the baggage from their past #but how it still affects them like with ranpo holding onto the deception of his ability #and yosano getting angry at mori #AHHHHHHH i love this #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd spoilers #kinda #too lazy to tag all the characters #bsd musings #character analysis #spitting nonsense

✩｜takashi x reader drabble bc ive been having takashi brainrot. 358 words, fluffy :3

it wasn't often when takashi showed his raw emotions, but when he did, you welcomed it.

it wasn't as scary as the others made it seem, even though it was kinda freaky at first. to you, it just proved how comfortable he was to open up and show his exhaustion to his girlfriend.

so when he found you at your usual spot under a tree behind the school one day and smiled softly at you, you couldn't reject him. "hey, sweetheart." he muttered and sat on the grass before laying his head on your lap.

"hey." you whispered to him and ran your fingers through his hair to hear him sigh in relief. "you alright, takashi?"

all you got in response was a soft hum, followed by his eyes shutting slowly. you didn't know if you wanted to kiss him passionately and catch him by surprise or hold him closer. maybe both.

"you shouldn't sit on the grass." you smiled a bit, amused at the thought of his pants becoming slightly green. from his silence though, you assumed he didn't care.

some more quiet moments passed with you staring at the 'scary' takashi morinozuka; who had the most gentle sleepy expression on his face. you didn't often have these moments considering his busy schedule and lack of privacy, so you both decided to enjoy it like it's treasured.

"how was judo?" you asked quietly, not wanting to disturb the huge man who somehow seemed tiny in your lap with his arms wrapped around your hips and his face buried in your tummy.

"good, tiring." he answered curtly, wanting nothing more than to take a nap inhaling your scent - one of the rare times he was hoping his dear cousin wouldn't come looking for him.

you took his hand in your own and gave it a small kiss. "we have class in 10 minutes." you reminded him, much to his dismay.

that was the first time you skipped class to stay with your tired boyfriend in your embrace, wondering if your parents would learn about it and scold you.

but he was takashi morinozuka, and who dares defy his will? definitely not you.

skk relationship reveal where Dazai sends this picture to the ADA group chat without context and shuts off this phone before the group chat explodes.

#big sums of ​money were exchanged that day #Mori gets a similar picture except Dazai is holding up two middle fingers instead of none #reimagining of a drawing I did a year ago #bungou stray dogs #bsd #bungo stray dogs #soukoku #bsd fanart #bsd dazai #dazai osamu #osamu dazai #bsd chuuya #chuuya nakahara #my art #also they are using one of those inverted cameras which is why they hold up what seems to be their right hands but it’s their left hand #(which is why Chuuya’s hair is parted that way instead how it’s usually parted in my other artworks <- I’m pretending this did not happen #on complete accident since I mirrored another drawing as reference for the hair 👍)

mori sends black lizard to break stuff and cause problems whenever fukuzawa doesn’t answer his texts

#fukumori #vita.txt #fukuzawa #mori #they aren’t allowed to even look at ranpo! #that’s why he’s so chill when they show up #he could literally grab the gun out of tachihara’s hand because he knows he can’t do shit

[rosalinesurvived]

I want to talk more about the shockwaves of horror that went through the Port Mafia when Akutagawa died. He was one of their strongest members. Commander of the Black Lizard, The Black-Fanged Hellhound, he’s been killing since he was a child. Even with what Mori says, Akutagawa’s always running off and causing trouble and in the end he contributes the most.

And then he’s murdered. And they don’t even know how. And they don’t even have his body to bury. And that means that it was Atsushi who had the burden of telling them, their enemy

And Higuchi lost her partner, the man she loved. And Chuuya lost another friend because of his own partner’s schemes. And Tachihara and Gin lose their brother–metaphorical and literal because bet my ass Gin remembered all of their murdered friends in the streets and bet my ass that Tachihara went into his battle with Fukuchi high on rage for losing another brother.

#bsd #bungo stray dogs #they should have fucking showed the funeral #DID CHUUYA KNOW. DID HE AGREE TO THE MERSAULT AFTER OR BEFORE THE FUNERAL!!!! #DID THEY TELL HIM. IS THAT WHY HE LOOKED SO EXHAUSTED?? #OR DID MORI SHIP HIM TO FRANCE BEFORE ANYONE COULD TELL HIM BC CHUUYA WOULD BLOW UP FUKUCHI IF HE KNEW #akutagawa ryuunosuke #akutagawa gin #port mafia #chuuya nakahara #tachihara michizou #higuchi ichiyo #black lizard #atsushi nakajima #bsd akutagawa #gin akutagawa #ryunosuke akutagawa

[ID: Digital drawings featuring Mori, who is a cat, and Oliver Banks drawn on a red background. Mori is a slim black cat with gigantic yellow eyes and small fangs poking out of his mouth. Oliver is a thin black man with dark skin, dimples, and piercings, and he is wearing a gray sweater. The drawing on the left is of Mori sitting with his tail out beside him, smiling, and on the right is a drawing of Oliver from the chest up with the upper half of his face out of frame, with Mori sprawled over his shoulder with his front legs sticking out. Mori is smiling and squinting, wall-eyed, with his cheek mushed against Oliver's face, and Oliver is smiling as well. end ID]

using @tmaappreciationweek's "what if" and "original character" prompts for today as an excuse to draw Mori. oliver's black cat that i gave him when i thought "what if oliver had a kitty cat"

he's a silly little rescue and the light of oliver's life through all the death prophet junk. the more i draw him the more cartoony he becomes.

#fg's art #the magnus archives #tma #oliver banks #mori banks #tmaappreciationweek #tmaappreciationweek2023 #i headcanon that as an avatar oliver can't feel warmth unless its from a living thing (such as a kittied cat) #and that the warmth helps his dreams be more tolerable even if nothing much actually changes. at least he isn't so cold #so cuddling with mori is epic and wonderful #also idk why i keep drawing his eyes so huge they don't need to be that big but i guess they're just so prominent on him that i just do it? #but yes <3 mori beloved <3
